Hi Rahel, Look dialup connection is for the client which connects to the Server for Internet access, this point shuld be clear, whatever be the clients. Yes, you can define users in Active Directory and can define Authentication on ISA, then you can define dial up Entry from ISA MMC. I suggest you to first test the dial up connection and do all the exercise, Inshallah you will get success. Have a look at ISA Server Quick Start Guide on http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/quickstart.html <http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/quickstart.html> http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Installing_ISA_Server_2000.html <http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Installing_ISA_Server_2000.html> http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring_Web_Proxy_Clients_for_Direct_ Access.html <http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring_Web_Proxy_Clients_for_Direct _Access.html> http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/ISA_Clients__Part_1__General_ISA_Server_C onfiguration.html <http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/ISA_Clients__Part_1__General_ISA_Server_ Configuration.html> http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/ISA_Clients__Part_2_SecureNAT_and_Web_Pro xy_Client.html <http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/ISA_Clients__Part_2_SecureNAT_and_Web_Pr oxy_Client.html> Infact, there are plenty of good articles, scan thru this website for more info.
